Introduction. In order to implement the decisions of the Rio De Janeiro Conference 1992, the Russian President’s Decrees of 04.02.1994 No. 236 “On the State Strategy of the Russian Federation for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development” and from 01.04.1996 No. 440 “On the Concept of the Transition of the Russian Federation to Sustainable Development” were adopted. The Russian Urban Planning Codes of 1998 and 2005 laid the foundations for sustainable development of the territories in the field of urban planning. The 2005 Russian Urban Planning Code lacks applied provisions, which present all the requirements for urban documentation, and would set out an applied practical procedure for their preparation. This was due to numerous changes of Code. In accordance with the goals and objectives set in Russia to improve the quality and comfort of the living environment, it is necessary to use scientific and educational activities on the development of the territories and improve the specific requirements for urban planning documentation and its assessment to meet legitimate requirements, including foreign ones. Materials and methods. Comparative analysis of regulatory documents, scientific and practical review of information on the topic of urban planning regulation of sustainable development, based on the international assessment method BREEAM, which was developed in 1990 by the British state organization BRE Global. Results. The foundations of Russian and international urban planning regulation for sustainable development are outlined: overview and facts of the international assessment method BREEAM, incl. BREEAM Communities; basics of urban planning and regulation: information on the demand for urban planning, environmental, interdisciplinary technologies. BREEAM Communities certification for interested participants in urban planning activities is a kind of insurance and separation of responsibility of public authorities for approved (agreed) city planning documents. Conclusions. We believe that the method of certification known abroad as BREEAM, i.e. assessing the compliance of both planned and existing facilities and territories to certain requirements, will gain legitimacy and popularity in the Russian Federation. This is due to the adaptation of the international BREEAM assessment to the domestic regulatory framework (BREEAM RU), as well as to the educational programs for the training of BREEAM, including “BREEAM Communities”.

The purpose of this article is to check Russia’s strategic planning system and anti-crisis measures against the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by monitoring the documents for policy objectives directly or indirectly corresponding to the targets of the sustainable development goals (SDG); comparing the indicators present in the Russian documents with those in the 2030 Agenda; assessing the impact of anti-crisis measures on the sustainable development outlook in the country; and tracing the changes present in the latest socio-economic development initiatives of the Russian government. The scope of the study in terms of the number of documents analyzed was determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Federal Law No. 172-FZ On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation, and includes a vast array of federal strategies, sectoral strategic planning documents, national and federal projects, state programmes, the 2020 Presidential Decree No. 474 On the National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the Period Until 2030 and its auxiliary documents, as well as other ad hoc anti-crisis planning instruments, such as the 2020 Nationwide Action Plan. The results of the analysis make it possible to trace the paradigm shift in Russia’s decision-making toward incorporating more elements of the sustainability discourse characteristic of the 2030 Agenda and other multilateral arrangements, particularly in regard to climate change and environment, taking place in 2020–21.


The paper discusses the impact of the competition level on the sustainable development of a regional market in order to manage competitive and industrial policies. The authors proposed to calculate the impact of the competition level on the economic affordability of food products to the population according to the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. For this purpose, the paper determines the correlation coefficients between the Herfindahl-Hirschman index and indicators affecting the economic availability of milk for the population of the Russian Federation. According to the data for 2010-2016, the market of milk and dairy products of the region of the Russian Federation (by the example of the Republic of Tatarstan) was analyzed. On the basis of the approach proposed, a regression model was obtained depending on the level of competition on the share of population expenditures on milk and dairy products. The proposed tool can be applied in any territory, what determines its universality.

The paper discusses the problems of legal regulation of development of resorts and medical and recreational areas in the Russian Federation and suggests ways to further improve legislation in this sphere. The relevance of the topic is due to the prevailing unsystematic development of the territories of most resorts in Russia, which leads to an increase in anthropogenic pressure on resort ecosystems, degradation of natural medicinal resources, deterioration of the ecological and sanitary-epidemiological condition of the territories of resorts and health-improving areas. The author shows the importance and features of the organization of development of resorts and medical and recreational areas to ensure their sustainable development, analyzes the existing urban planning legislation in the part relating to the construction of resorts, reveals problems of regulation and implementation of urban planning activities in the resorts. The priority role of territorial planning in the regulation of reasonable development of resorts is justified taking into account the peculiarities of their functioning and further development.

The topic of the article is relevant due to changes in urban planning legislation. The new legislation is explained by the tasks set by the authorities of the Russian Federation to improve the quality of life, to ensure favorable living conditions and health of citizens of the Russian Federation. The new requirements for the development of territories in the Russian Federation provide not only for changing the procedure, but also for providing transport, social and other types of infrastructure during the construction of the object. A new concept in urban planning legislation — the activity of integrated and sustainable development of territories-entails a whole range of measures necessary for adoption not only by the authorities, but also in the design of the activities of construction companies. First of all, urban planning changes will affect such a legal act as the Rules of Land Use and Development. They will not only have to be structurally updated, but also adopted in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Construction companies are forced to coordinate the construction of an object, especially residential buildings, with organizations that regulate transport and social accessibility. Additional requirements for construction, imposed by modern urban planning legislation, will also entail a change in the price policy in the field of housing. The authors try to anticipate the pos sible legal consequences of the new changes in the legislation regulating urban planning legal relations.

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to assess the current state of green financing in the Russian Federation and the extent of its impact on economic growth in the country. Methodology: The main research methods utilized were the regression and cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Cluster analysis implies dividing the set of studied objects and features into groups or clusters that are homogeneous in some way. We used it to determine regional differentiation of subjects from the Russian Federation according to the level of green financing. The clustering of subjects was performed using the ward method. This method is aimed at combining closely located clusters. Regression analysis was used to build an econometric model for assessing the degree of influence of green Finance on economic growth. Main Findings: The authors proved that stimulating green financing in Russia requires the following: creating a regulatory framework and roadmap for the development of green financing, active state participation in financing green projects, creating a “green bond market,” and a specialized banking institution. Application of the study: In this article, the authors assessed the impact of green financing on Russia’s economic growth. As part of the study, the authors analyzed the dynamics of green financing in the Russian Federation from 2000–2018, developed an integrated indicator for sustainable economic growth based on three components of sustainable development (economic, social, and environmental), and estimated the impact of environmental investments on the integral indicator of sustainable economic growth. Novelty/Originality of the study: The proposed methodology for calculating the integrated indicator of sustainable economic development allowed us to assess sustainable development, taking into account economic, social, and environmental indicators. Such an approach has several advantages over the current methods: it is universal, indicators are available, and calculations are clear.

Currently, the professional construction community information field is largely filled with the topic of creating a comfortable living environment. However, architectural and engineering design that corresponds to the concept of sustainable development is currently hindered due to the lack of a formed conceptual framework that reveals the meaning of the term "comfort", as well as a criteria list that determines the indoor environment quality in the Russian Federation regulatory and technical framework. The article offers some components of a comfortable living environment, within which the parameters of designing the internal environment of premises are highlighted. A comparative analysis of the national standards of the Russian Federation regulating the design of the internal space of residential and public buildings, with international "green" standards for a number of parameters was carried out. It is concluded that it is necessary to update the Russian regulatory and technical base taking into account the international experience of "green" standards.
